Before arriving at the hotel, I looked at various reviews on line and was very worried about what the hotel would be like.

Before going on this holiday I did allot of research, which started to make me worry about where we were going.

What can I say about this 4V virging rating hotel. This is the first time i have put my thoughts in writing about any hotel.

The lack of air conditioning in the restaurants and public areas needs... more
